Nylon-Insert Locknuts
 |
Versatile yet economical, these are the most commonly used locknuts. The nylon insert grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration without damaging threads. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.
Low-Strength Steel
Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these locknuts are about half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.
Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
Black-Corrosion-Resistant-Coated Steel—These nuts combine a finished appearance with the rust resistance of stainless steel. The coating has been tested to extreme standards, including 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance, to hold up in wet and outdoor environments. Also known as black luster.
Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel
18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these locknuts resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
Black-Oxide 18-8 Stainless Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these nuts have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They resist rust in wet and outdoor environments, but won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant nuts, these hold up in just about any environment. They won't degrade from exposure to weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
High-Strength Lightweight Titanium
Grade 5 Titanium—The best of both worlds, these locknuts are lightweight like aluminum and as corrosion-resistant as 316 stainless steel. They're ideal for use in chemical-processing and water-treatment facilities since they stand up to strong acids and other harsh chemicals. Grade 5 is the strongest of all the titanium alloys due to its higher aluminum and vanadium content.

Mil. Spec. Distorted-Thread Flange Nuts
Not only do these have the strongest hold of all the flange nuts we offer, they are also manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction. They have irregularly shaped threads that grip the screw to resist loosening in high-vibration applications. The threads prevent the nut from backing out, but they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch, so they are not reusable. Nuts have a flange that distributes pressure evenly across the mounting surface without the need for a separate washer. They are ideal for securing screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts. Also known as collar nuts.
Low-Strength Steel
 |
About half the strength of medium-strength steel nuts. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.
Cadmium-Plated Steel—The plating reduces friction during installation, so these nuts thread on smoother than others. It also creates a barrier against rust that's comparable to zinc yellow-chromate plating.

Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel
|
High-Temperature A286 Stainless Steel—Stronger than 316 stainless steel and withstand high temperatures up to 1500° F. These nuts resist corrosion from chemicals, such as bleach and chlorine, but they won't hold up to salt water as well as 316 stainless steel.
High-Temperature Silver-Plated A286 Stainless Steel—The silver plating reduces friction during installation, so these nuts thread on smoother than others. They are stronger than 316 stainless steel and withstand temperatures up to 800° F. Nuts resist corrosion from chemicals, such as bleach and chlorine, but won't hold up to salt water as well as 316 stainless steel.
Serrated Flange Nuts
 |
Serrations bite into material for mild vibration resistance while the flange eliminates the need for a separate washer. These nuts are ideal for securing screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts. You can use them again and again without sacrificing strength. However, the serrations may mar the surface of your material. Also known as collar nuts.

Locknuts with External-Tooth Lock Washer
 |
To save on assembly time, these locknuts combine a hex nut with a free-spinning lock washer, so you can twist them into place by hand. Once the nut is against your material surface, tighten it down with a wrench or socket to get the teeth to bite. Although these nuts install more quickly than nylon-insert locknuts, they don't hold up as well against vibration and can mar your material. As long as the washer stays intact, you can reuse them. Also known as Keps and K-lock nuts.

These nuts not only conceal and protect protruding screw threads, they also resist loosening from mild vibration. They have a nylon patch bonded to their threads that grips screws for a tighter hold than standard cap nuts. They’re reusable a handful of times, but the patch’s holding power decreases with each use. Also known as acorn nuts, they have a smooth, rounded head that creates a finished look.
Stainless Steel
18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these nuts resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
Black-Oxide 18-8 Stainless Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these nuts have a dark, matte coating. They resist rust in wet and outdoor environments but won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
Highly-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant cap nuts, these hold up in just about any environment. They won't degrade from exposure to weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
Locknuts with Spring-Lock Washer
 |
The curved, spring-like washer grips surfaces more tightly than tooth-lock washers for better vibration resistance. These locknuts also install just as quickly since you can twist them into place by hand. Once the nut is against your material, tighten it down with a wrench or socket. The washer's smooth edges won't mar the surface like teeth can. As long as the washer stays intact, you can reuse these locknuts.
Low-Strength Steel
Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these locknuts are about half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.
Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these nuts have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
Nylon-Insert Wing Nuts
 |
The strongest hold of all our thumb nuts. The wings give you extra leverage for a tight fit, while a nylon insert grips the screw to prevent loosening from vibration. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. You can reuse these nuts a handful of times, but their holding power will decrease with each use.
Zinc
Zinc—Zinc nuts have better corrosion resistance than steel to withstand occasional exposure to moisture. However, they're not as strong.

Distorted-Thread Flange Nuts
 |
The strongest hold of all the flange nuts we offer, these have irregularly shaped threads that grip the screw to resist loosening. The threads prevent the nut from backing out due to high vibration, but they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch, so they are not reusable. Nuts have a flange that distributes pressure evenly across the mounting surface without the need for a separate washer. They are ideal for securing screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts. Also known as collar nuts.

Nylon-Insert Cap Nuts
 |
Get the protection of a cap nut with the vibration resistance of a locknut. These nuts not only conceal protruding screw threads, they also have a nylon insert that grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. Nuts are reusable a handful of times, but their holding power decreases with each use.

Assortments of Locknuts with External-Tooth Lock Washer
 |
|
With a range of sizes on hand, you can use these assortments to fasten a variety of parts. These locknuts combine a hex nut with a free-spinning lock washer, so you can twist them into place by hand and save on assembly time. Once the nut is against your material surface, tighten it down with a wrench or socket to get the teeth to bite. Although these nuts install more quickly than nylon-insert locknuts, they don't hold up as well against vibration and can mar your material. As long as the washer stays intact, you can reuse them. Also known as Keps and K-lock nuts.

Locknuts for use with Cotter Pins
 |
 |
Use these locknuts to secure rotating parts subjected to mild vibration, such as the wheels on carts and hand trucks. They’re not recommended for use on parts exposed to high vibration because the pin can shear under prolonged stress. These nuts are reusable, but you'll need a new cotter pin (not included) with each use.

Serrated Locknuts
 |
Since these nuts twist on by hand and don't require much torque, they're the easiest locknuts to install. The serrated edge grips surfaces to secure equipment that experiences mild vibration, such as panel covers and small electric motors. You can reuse these locknuts over and over again, but the serrations may mar your surface.
